Description

In late 2022, Venture Beat reported that a new category of cyber solutions -- Secure Enterprise Browser -- has "caught fire" within the investment company, while piquing the interest of CISOs who are looking to secure a growing number of business endpoints, including those operated by remote workers. In theory, SEB fills a need, in that many employees now access and conduct much of their core work tasks online in the cloud -- which makes their browsers a tempting attack vector for cybercriminals looking to compromise devices and exfiltrate data. SEBs typically consist of a standardized browser that restricts certain actions that employees can take such as screen captures or visiting unapproved sites. Other secure browser solutions might install a lightweight agent that adds another layer of security on top of your browser of choice. This webcast will examine the benefits, drawbacks and viability of this emerging category from a cyber venture capital perspective, as a panel of investors weigh in on this trending space.
